Weekend Prayer requests!

Contract Negotiations - We are nearly there...
We are very close to finalizing the rental contract for our new Tel Aviv Ministry Center (name to be decided later). We need your prayers for a good conclusion to these negotiations. The owner seems pretty accommodating. Its just technical decisions for the most part. Please pray that we would be able to seal the deal early next week.

School Update
Jason just sat down with a professional to discuss making a new, professional, video for the school. He has agreed to help us and we will start next week! We have been working in several directions, from grant writing to online marketing. If you want to help, please consider giving to the school through the website: www.hopeofisraelschool.org Once you do, tell the world that they should too!

Family Update
  • Janice is doing really well with the pregnancy. We have just two or three weeks to go! The weather has turned HOT, which at this stage in the pregnancy can be a little uncomfortable. But she is coping by staying inside most of the time and keeping the A/C on (which we don't normally do…).
  • She just "finally" transferred her driver's license over. So she now has an Israeli license (coming in the mail). The process involves a few lessons and a drivers test. The testers have been on strike since November! So, finally we were able to get her in for a test, just before the grace period to transfer the license ran out. Praise God!
  • The Boys are doing really well and enjoying the warm weather!  Jason gave them haircuts to help them stay cool. Summer break starts soon for all of their friends but Janice will continue to teach them through the summer, however on a less rigorous schedule.

A Terrible Tragedy occurred last night.

  Here is the background A terrorist walked into a synagogue (a house of worship) and started shooting innocent civilians as they were getting up to leave the building at the end of the service. This incident falls on the heels of other terrorist attacks and a growing movement towards violence led by extremists.  Earlier in the day, Hamas (the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip and it's 2 million people) fired a rocket at civilian populations in Israel.  Over the past several months, they have restrained themselves and others, but the fact that they claimed responsibility for the terror and rocket attack seems to indicate that they are now looking for an escalation.   What are False Equivalencies. One of the common and false responses to such attacks is to make false equivalencies. It is often said in the global press, that "the Jews and Arabs have been killing each other for centuries," or "they Arabs are responding to Jewish aggression." These false equ

Prayer Requests regarding the recent uptick in Rocket fire, Riots and terror attacks

Dear friends and ministry partners, In recent days there have been several rocket attacks at Israel from the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and in Southern Lebanon. As of the writing of this prayer request about 80 rockets have been fired.  On the one hand, this is a major escalation, yet on the other hand, there is always some expected escalation around the Islamic holiday of Ramadan.  For the entire month, we normally experience riots and other violence with terror organizations often calling for terror attacks against civilians. This year we have already experienced a large increase in terror attacks and the Israeli security establishment has been working hard to thwart terror continuously.  They stated in the news recently that they have been able to thwart over 200 planned terror attacks since the beginning of the year.  The success of their efforts is apparent, but not as apparent as their failure to thwart terror attacks.  This morning two sisters in their 20's were

Important Update! Significant News to report!

Dear Prayer Partners, Jason and Janice Rose We are really excited to share some incredibly amazing news! This update is a bit longer than usual, but our big news is here at the beginning!  We are incredibly blessed by your prayerful support of our ministry. God has truly expanded and stretched us, as we have grown into the ministers that we are today. Through that growth, the Lord also expanded the team of people that minister alongside us. When we relocated to Israel in 2015, Mitch Glaser (President of Chosen People Ministries) asked us to start a Messianic Center in Ramat Gan. We had previously started a Messianic Center in South Tel Aviv, but the area grew dangerous over time. Although we loved the facility, we were renting it and that provided a measure of instability. It was certainly what we needed at the time. We learned a lot. The center in Ramat Gan was the fruit of our education. We learned a lot about what worked and what didn't and that certain ministry programs should
